Trusting Your Body’s Process
Milk production works on a simple principle: demand equals supply. Frequent nursing or pumping sends signals to your body to produce what your baby needs. Trust the process; your body is highly attuned to your baby’s demands.
By now, your breasts might feel less full overall, but this doesn’t mean you’re producing less milk. It’s a sign of regulation, where supply perfectly matches demand.
